So the ICECO frig just came in
and
It's cool
(Get it...Frig...cool!)
;-))
-
That's a 35" tire it is sitting on
-
Loads of interior space in this thing
-
The grab handles and latches are as good as anything I have ever seen
-
And four hinges instead of two. Look how beefy those hinges are!
And that "C" word is the type of insulation it uses
-
I studied the manual, then plugged it into 115VAC. It was sitting outside and was cool to begin with. But starting at 48F it hit 30F in a little over 20 minutes.
I set the temp to 30F and I noticed it will cool down to around 27F, then slowly creep back up to 30, then cycle on again.
It is very quiet and after all the smoke cleared out from the motor fire, it started running fine!
Some of what I just wrote is true...
I like it!

That hardware is only as good as what it’s screwed into. Time will tell and looking forward to an update.
I have a question about your baskets in the cooler, are they designed to act as a shelf or do they keep food from direct contact with the inner walls? Or some other

Heck, I don't know
Probably just in there to make it easier to get stuff

What is the real amp draw on that? Both 110 and 12v?
Still a little pricey but looks like a nice unit.

Can we get a long term review on this thing?

C’mon Ken.
We know it’s fate was the same as a camera a chainsaw.
He brush hogged it...

Ken,
It has and it has not been used
So since I first installed it in the camper and turned it on, it has always worked
I only used 110VAC for many months, and then one day, I realized it had a 12VDC circuit as well, so I switched that on
It just always works, like as in it has never failed or done anything other than to cool my water and tea.
The has not been used part refers to the camper never having been towed anywhere, so I couldn't comment on whether or not the thing will survive rough handling. I have never taken it out of the camper, so there was no opportunity for me to drive over it or bush-hog it into pieces...And that's a good thing
I believe it has some switching hierarchy because I have it plugged into both AC and DC all the time. When I am plugged up to shore power and I pull the 12VDC plug, I do not get a "blip" to indicate it has switched over to pull DC power. I have not checked it out the other way, but I believe it pulls AC over DC, but when you pack it up for the day and move out, it just keeps cooling on the batteries which are sometimes being charged by the solar cells.
I think the thing is the best. My grandkids have crawled over it and one tried to get inside for a quick cool-down (Scary thought), but the top will not self latch and must be mechanically latched from the outside.
All in all, I recommend purchasing the thing and I will certainly never get rid of it.

You should not be commenting on anything that has anything to do with a cooler, since it is doubtful you have ever seen one!
